Well, here's the thing:
Making paragraphs (and having an empty line between them), makes it much easier for the readers. When we see one massive wall of text, it is very discouraging. It looks like a pain to read, and the lack of paragraphs all together makes it look like everything is blurring together.
So it isn't about negative/positive comments. It's about presenting the story in a way that encourages people to read it in the first place.
